Sambar defaults to mta = 1. If that is low, perhaps Todd should change the default?
Peter, are you talking about the "Watcher Daemon"? Or running Sambar as a service? It seems like the watcher daemon doesn't check for a mail server failure. I am not running Sambar as a service but I can certainly give that a try and set the service manager to restart on failure. It says it is ok in the docs but is it advisable to run the watcher daemon when running Sambar as a service? In general, is it better to run Sambar as a service? For me, there is just something comforting in seeing the icon in the task bar tray...

Peter Jim it sopunds to me like the key you have is wrong or bad, get James or Tod to give you a new one. -----Original Message----- From: "Jim H." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "sambar List Member" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:27:33 -0600 Subject: [sambar] Mail server woes > I am seeing the same thing, but I also saw it in 5.3. > > Eventually the connections just keep growing, as if Sambar isn't > killing idol connections.
